The Deficit in Cooks.

The Viscountess Strangford wrote,
not long since, to an English paper
that, having a worthy person in her
family for whom she wished to procure
II situation elsewhere as plain cook,
she advertised to that effect, and on
the noon of the day when the adver-
tisement appeared seven callers had
applied for this cook, and Def ore the
end of the third day she had received
more than five hundred applications
from people wishing to engage her
services. Nothing can show more dis
tinctly than this circumstance the
preference of the young girls of the
working classes for work in shops and
behind bars. The same state of things
obtains in this country, and it is to be
regretted. Decent homes in nice fami-
lies, where good help always COM
mands friendly consideration, afford
safer and healthier occupation than
most shops do. and are quite rs re-
spectacle; and the number of cooking
schools now in action put it within the
means of all to learn plain cooking.

Woodson, of Chicago, will spar fifteen
rounds in Exposition rink tonight, for
purse of $500 and the colored champion
ship. A good deal of interest has been
aroused over the match. The two men
fought eight rounds to draw in the same

nights event should not be an interesting

distance running, punching the bag,
sparring and general gymnastics.
Wilson is in fine condition, and
promises to do some hard fighting.

THE DRY WEATHER
I'm Some States Injuring the Winte
Wheat.

Wheat.
CHICAGO. March 27.-The Farmers Re-
view prints for its crop review this week
the following summary: The dry weather
continues to prevail in Kansas and in por-
tions of Missouri, which has caused some
injury to winter wheat. though very few
serious reports of damage are made. In
Sedgwicf and some of the other southern
counties of Kansas there has been very lit
tie rain since last August. In Atchison,
Franklin, Shawnee and Smith counties the
fields lack moisture and the grain has al
ready been injured by drouth. In Chase
and Republic counties the winter wheat is
also reported as looking poorly, while in
NeoSho, Marshall and Saline counties the
prospects are favorable. In Holt and Daviess
counties OF Missouri the ground is very dry
and some injury is reported in the last
named counties. The tenor of the reports
from Missouri, however, is stin favorable
for the crop. The Illinois reports continue
to be favorable and the outlook is regarded
as very favorable for full average crop.
Some injury is reported from Pope and
jefferson counties Of Illinois. Some of the
northwestern and southern counties of
Michigan report damages and the average
for the state is below that of the preceding
two years for this month. The reports
from Wisconsin are nearly all of a favor
able tenor, though injury is reported in
Columbia ana few other counties. The
reports from Indiana are equally divided
as indicating fair to good prospects. In
Noble, Seneca and Trumbull counties the
prospects for wheat are poor, but through
out the state the outlook is good.

A COOKING MAIN.
Three Game Battles at a Mid way
Road House.

The cooking main announced to occur
Paul and Minneapolis took place, but sim
mered down to three battles. The birds
were we'll matched and handled, and the
hundred or so sports present were well sat-
sfed. The pit was 15X10 feet in dimen-
sionS and arranged in accordance with the
regulations which govern such affairs. The
first battle was between two Pyles blue
and red, we'll matched.
After some time spent in heeling the birds
they were breasted. The blue seemed both
stronger and quicker and gaffed his opp onent
three times, the last being fatal. Time, 5
minutes.
The second battle was between a gray
Dominique, and q ck-breasted red. The
red was the favorite. and odds of to 3
were freely offered and taken, considerable
money changing hands. The birds had
fought once before up the river" when
the red drove the gray from the pit, and
the battle was to decide the question of
superiority to the death.
When breasted the gray showed so much
game that his hackers plucked up courage
and increased their bets. While the gray ap-
peared to be the quicker of the two, and the
more aggressive the red clearly over
final fly, the fifth, the red gaff went through
the gray's neck and ended the battle. Time,
IL minutes.
The third and last battle was between
''stags, "or birds that had never been fought
before. Both were light-weights, black
breasted red and gray Dominique.
AT the second fly the gray gated the red at
the joint of one of his legs and uncoupled
him. Notwithstanding this the red lay on
the ground and fought for fifteen minutes
Four times the birds were breasted but
the last time the red limped to his corner and
avoided fight, so the match was given to the
gray. Time 81 minutes.
The dog fight which had been announced
to take place at the close of the main was
declared off.

more scrambled and in some cases fought

SAN FRANCISCO, March 27.--A pecu-
liarly sad accident occurred yesterday off
the South Pacific coast wharf, on the Ala
media side of the bay. J. G. Haggett. the
owner of mining property in Arizona. was
paying visit to his family in Alameda and
took four of his children, three boys and
one girl, out in row boat fishing. Just as
they were about to return he stood up in
the boat to put on his overcoat. The boat
began to rock. and the motion increased
until the frail vessel capsiZed, throwing all
the occupants into the water. Two other
boats in the vicinity quickly pulled to their
aid, but only two of the boys were drawn
from the water. One of these died a short
time after. and thus what began as pleas
ure trip ended in the death of father, two
sons and daughter.
